MANHEIM, Pa. - With just a handful of dual meets in the opening weekend of the major college wrestling season, there was minimal movement in the first National Wrestling Coaches Association Division I Men’s Wrestling Coaches Poll of the regular season, released on Tuesday.

There was a reshuffling of teams in the bottom half of the poll following Utah Valley’s 19-12 upset over then-No. 14 Stanford over the weekend. The Cardinal slipped five spots to No. 19 this week.
